Apogee Alta F16: Optimised for High Resolution Photometry
Ideal for OEM and astronomy applications, the Apogee Alta family has been a mainstay of high end imaging for many years, offering a wide range of full frame and interline CCDs. Cooling performance down to 450C below ambient ensures optimal signal to noise for long exposure applications. A USB 2.0 interface offers the convenience of simple, robust connection to PC.
The Apogee Alta F16 features a 16.8 megapixel full frame sensor with micro-lenses and no anti-blooming. The lack of anti-blooming structures renders the F16 ideal for accurate photometric measurements over a wide dynamic range, and a large field of view. The exceptional performance of the Apogee Alta F16 makes it the perfect solution for many demanding astronomy applications.
